Look, Tony, you stick with Samantha from I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue; OK? Anyway, I'm much closer to Essex than you are. And probably better-looking.

Could this be the first ever IM Meet to cause a punchup before it even happens?

Rob_The_Pom · Jul 28th, 2005, 14:26

I'm there with bells on, gang!
Good lord you let one Essex girl along, and the whole things turns into a ruck....

Unless you guys insist on alcohol with your meal. This is an authentic South Indian eating experience; there won't be any beer there!

They have two branches: one pure-veg and one mixed. I guess we want the mixed one.

Just checked the web site...i am drooling at my desk.....and they've got parotta! I'm in heaven

Indianflower · Jul 28th, 2005, 14:59

they do Badam Kheer...we must go there!

andygoodyear · Jul 28th, 2005, 15:48

i have no idea what any of those things are!!!

andygoodyear · Jul 28th, 2005, 15:57

so someone help me out here

i will be going to india on my first trip this year and love indian food but have no idea was dosa or badam kheer is!

Indianflower · Jul 28th, 2005, 16:07

I'm sure there are people that can give a better answer than I, and who are probably better qualified but I shall make an attempt anyway:

Parotta - is a Keralan style bread, nothing like chapatti or naan.
Dosa - Is like a huge pancake, slightly crispy on the outside and filled with different things: Masala dosa is usually filled with potatoes, spices, onions etc,
Badam Kheer- is a drink. Comes from the Badam nut which I understand (please correct me if i am wrong) comes from the cashew nut family. Sounds strange, tastes wonderful!

Hope that clear's things up a bit!

andygoodyear · Jul 28th, 2005, 16:31

ahhh yes

i have had dosa before

beach · Jul 28th, 2005, 20:14

just had a look at chennaidosa's site

They are looking for
WAITING STAFF

Must have a good command of the English Language, to take orders from the customers and a good command of the Tamil Language to give instructions to the kitchen staff.

That means the cusine is 'authentic'

Egg Kotthu Parotta - £3.25

do they want someone to dance with the tune when they make those Kotthu Parotta ??

Nick-H · Jul 28th, 2005, 20:31

We have a large Tamil community as well as a Malayalees and Telegus here. There is a Shaivite tremple and a Vaishnavite temple and about six S. Indian restaurants. It is authentic!

I bet their friends back home are queueing up for a chance to get that £5 an hour

andygoodyear · Jul 29th, 2005, 07:42

Cool

i will book the restuarant. Shall we say 5pm??

Is everyone good for drinks afterwards?

Rob_The_Pom · Jul 29th, 2005, 14:15

I'm happy with drinks before as well!
But, yeah that's cool for me.
Is there anyone else out there who's coming along?

Rob

Nick-H · Jul 29th, 2005, 15:09

Sounds good to me, Andy. 5.00pm will probably be OK crowds-wise, but booking would be safest just in case.
